New video file... f4v
« on: October 02, 2010, 11:19:21 am »
Recently I've received from a friend some files with extension .f4v.
It's said that are Adobe video files with better resolution.
How can I play this in MC 15?

Nobody from Media Center have knowledge about this format and how to manage it?

It looks like a version of Flash file.

Can you play it with the Flash player?

Please send a sample file and a link to this thread to yaobing at jriver.  If we can find a working decoder, we'll add the file type to our list of formats.

Thanks.

In most cases, F4V files are just MP4 files, and Haali can split them.

I just rename it to flv and then it plays fine.

This brings me to another question - how do I add a file extension to MC? MC just has to list f4v.

There is no way except hacking FileAssociations.xml file.

I will add it.
